Equivalent command in AIX to "top" command in Linux?

Hi all,
I wondered if there is an equivalent command in AIX to the "top"
command in Linux.
"top provides an ongoing look at processor activity in real time.
It displays a listing of the most CPU-intensive tasks on the
system, and can provide an interactive interface for manipulating
processes. It can sort the tasks by CPU usage, memory usage
and runtime."
Thanks,
James

I think there is a "top" in the Linux Toolbox for AIX, but what you
really want is "nmon", written by Mr. Nigel Griffiths of IBM. A little
Googlemancy should get you a download link. Used by IBMers worldwide
for performance investigations. Does everything that top does and more.
Or (as the man said) use topas, which is already included on the AIX
installation media. bos.perf.tools if memory serves.

Thanks a lot Patrick and Menno.

I totally agree with Patrick, but agree with Menno more! Nmon is a
great tool, especially the ability to create nice graphs to show
management :-)
However, please note that if you try to log a call with IBM based on
it's output they'll tell you it's not supported!

Is "Strategic Command" = "Strategic Command European Theatre"?I've seen some discussion here of a game usually referenced as
"Strategic Command" and decided to give it a try. Searching for it, I
found a game at battlefront.com called Strategic Command European
Theatre - is that the same game? I guess I had the impression that the
game covered the whole globe, not just Europe/Med area.
If this is the same game, I have another question: from the
screenshots, it appears that you only have one unit in each hex, is
that correct? No stacking at all?
I will probably have more questions before I decide to plunk down my

Question about command "netstat" for AIXWhen I try:

Let say it will have 5 counts after interval set to 1 sec.

expectHi,
I'm writing some scripts with Expect and I noticed a synchronization
problem when using "puts" command.
e.g.:
code:
*************************
send "bla bla\r"
expect "so so"
send "blabla\r"
expect "soso\r"
puts "OK, I'm done"
************************
Then I launch the script "expect myscript.exp" and I get:
******************
OK, I'm done
bla bla
so so
blabla
soso
******************
So the line specified with "puts" appears before the other lines (bla
bla, so so...) although it should appear only at the end of the
script... No matter if I put some "sleep" commands between the send/
expect commands or right before the "puts"... the output of "puts"
always comes before the others!
Funnily, this issue happens only at the end of a script. Similar
series of commands do not give the same problems at the beginning of
the same script...
Does anyone know why? How can I work this out?
Thanks a lot,
Andrea

You will probably want most of the bos.adt.* filesets to
get the include files and the bos.adt.libm fileset to get
a library that most packages need to build from source.

Many of the GNU versions of common unix tools (grep, sed, awk, sort,
etc.) have been ported to DOS and are available free.
It looks like <http://www.math.utah.edu/docs/info/MSDOS_toc.html> is
as good a place to start as any.
If you want to go all out and get a full-blown unix-like environment
that runs on Windows PCs, check out <http://www.cygwin.com/>.

Window's Explorer's "search" command does a good job of finding files with

If you really want DOS command line and full-blown grep, I agree with Jono
that Cygwin does an excellent job.
Another feature you'll like is that cygwin is available free of charge at:

Bonjour Phillipe,
The problem you are reporting is something that happens quite often in
AIX 3.2.5 and to some extent in AIX 4.3 as well. The user logs out and
the who command still shows them logged on. In some cases, I had
another user log in to the same pts and got to the $ prompt, then typed
"exit" to log out and this fixed it.
The AIX FAQ Article 1.103 mentions this problem and how you can fix it
when it happens. You can find the FAQ here:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/aix-faq/part1
There was also a C program developed by John Haugh from Cactus Software
that could fix the corruption in the /etc/utmp file. You can run this
in cron or just run it as needed.
Ce problem est prevalent dans le version AIX 3.2.5 et un peu dans AIX
4.3 aussi. Si vous pourriez brancher au meme pts avec un autre login,
des fois ca vous rende au shell et vous avez seulment a entrer la
commande "exit" plus Retour.
Vous pouvez egalement essayer le program si-dessous pour corriger le
corruption du fichier /etc/utmp.

How to deal with "{" in system("...command..."); ?Hi, all:
In order to replace }PERM= into PERM= in a file, I ran a command:
sed "s/}PERM=/PERM=/" record_with_comment_tmp > record_with_comment
It works.
I need to run it in a Perl script. So I wrote the following command in
the Perl script:
system ("sed "s/}PERM=/PERM=/" record_with_comment_tmp >
record_with_comment");
But the script cannot run. When I tried to run it, it gives following
error message:
String found where operator expected at drccomp_Her_debug.pl line 41,
near "/PERM=/" record_with_comment_tmp > record_with_comment""
(Missing operator before " record_with_comment_tmp >
record_with_comment"?)
I changed the double quotation mark around s/}PERM=/PERM=/ into single
quotation mark like:
system ("sed 's/}PERM=/PERM=/' record_with_comment_tmp >
record_with_comment");
The system still shows error message like:
String found where operator expected at drccomp_Her_debug.pl line 41,
at end of line
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
But in fact, I am not missing semicolon on previous line.
I also tried several ways using \ or using ` `, but still failed.
What's wrong with this command? What's the correct way to do it?
Thanks.

Eliminate the need for "{}" or "\ " after commands?Hello.
Usually, a TeX command in text mode will eat a trailing space, so if
you want a space after the command in the final document, you have to
put a "{}" or "\ " after the command. For example, "\TeX book" will
produce "TeXbook", whereas "\TeX{} book" or "\TeX\ book" will produce
"TeX book".
It seems there is a way around this.
By chance I was looking at the source code for the documentation for
the package "etoolbox". I notice that it has some command names
followed simply by spaces - and the spaces show up in the TeX'ed
output. This appears to be a result of the "ltxdockit" document class.
Here is a minimal working example:
\documentclass{ltxdockit}
\begin{document}
\tex book, \tex{}book, \tex-book
\end{document}
This produces the output:
TeX book, TeXbook, TeX-book
I have taken a look at the source code for the "ltxdockit" document
class, but it is much too wicked code for me to figure out. Can anyone
tell me what is going on? If there is a way to eliminate the need for
"{}" or "\ " after commands, then I would love to know it.
Thanks in advance.

command line equivalent for GUI accessed "page setup", "render color" etc...R 14 SP3
I am looking for documentation on how to set certain figure properties
from the command line. I am currently using the GUI interface to set a
bunch of parameters and would like to automate into my code. I tried
setting everything up how I want and then Generate M file. This does
not apply GUI applied properties to the code.
Specific properties I am trying to acces include
1) file -> page setup -> lines and text -> color(don't convert)
2) file -> page setup -> Axes and Figure -> Keep Screen Background
Color
3) file -> export setup -> Rendering -> uncheck Custom Color and leave
blank
4) file -> export setup -> resolution (dpi) -> 300
5) file -> export setup -> Export -> as filename.jpg
Can someone help out, or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

AIX / HP-UX "ps" command results from many machinesThere are a bunch of *NIX hosts that run processes that I'm interested

Python Paramiko between Linux and Windows Server -- no output obtained from Windows for "dir" or "cd" commandsHello There:
I am using Python 2.7.6 and Paramiko module (on a Linux server) to connect =
to a Windows server and send some commands and get output. I have a connect=
function which takes IP, username and password of the remote Windows serve=
r and I get an sshobj when that happens. How do I use it to send remote cal=
ls is my question?
If it were a local system, I would just say "os.system" but not sure about =
the remote calls. Can someone help?
My code looks like below: sys.path.append("/home/me/code")
import libs.ssh_connect as ssh
ssh_obj =3D ssh.new_conn(IP, username, password)
stdin, stdout, stderr =3D ssh_obj.exec_command("dir") #since the remote =
system I am SSHing into is Windows.
my "new_conn" looks like this:
import paramiko
def new_conn(IP, username, password):
ssh_obj =3D paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh_conn.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh_conn.connect(IP, username, password), timeout=3D30)
return ssh_obj

if I replaced "dir" with "ipconfig" it works fine. I wonder how I can make =

why "expect" skip the "send" command?Hi
I write my expect in a bash shell script.
I just want the expect could send different commands after receiving
different messages.
I don't know why this script don't work.
#!/bin/sh
expect -c 'send "Is it ok?'\r"
expect {
"OK" {send "Thanks\r";system date;send "Thanks again
\r"}
"NO" {send "Are you sure?\r";system ls;send "Can you
check it again?\r"}
}'
If the program return "OK",the expect could do system command
"date" ,but I found it never do the send command "Thanks" and "Thanks
again".
And if the program return "NO",the expect could do system command
"ls",but skip the send command "Are you sure?" and "Can you check it
again?" too!!!
I don't know why the expect just skip the "send" command with no error
but do the system command "ls" and "date" smoothly.
Could you give any suggestions?
Thank you very much and sorry for my poor english.

"image put", "image data" and the TclMagick commands "$wand readblob", "$wand writeblob"Hello,
recently I was suprised of some facts, that made code I wrote easier
and more complicate, too!
I used TclMagick to process some JPEG files and thought about
connecting this with Tk.
So reading and processing a JPEG file and using it inside a label is
really unproblematic:
package require Tk;
package require Img;
package require TclMagick;
set image [image create photo];
set wand [magick create wand];
$wand read $jpegfile;
$wand enhance;
$wand resample 96 96 mitchell;
$wand enhance;
$image put [$wand writeblob];
label .l -image $image;
pack .l -side top -fill none -expand 0;
I was suprised, that the "$image put" command accepted the binary
data, but it worked.
Than I wanted to push some Tk image data to the TclMagick wand:
$wand readblob [$image data];
And this failed, because naturally "readblob" wanted binary data.
So I thought to try the -format option:
$wand readblob [$image data -format jpeg];
No - this failed too! Just because there was still no binary data, but
base64 encoded data.
So I needed the base64 package, too:
package require base64;
$wand readblob [base64::decode [$image data -format jpeg]];
Now it worked.
Why does "$image put" accept simply binary data, while "$image data"
never creates binary data if a format, like JPEG, is specified?
I know - this behaviour is wellknown! And I used it long ago to build
a pure tcl image gall...
